[Start briefing] Calling "Mom," I downloaded the bank app and transferred it as I please... When it's a scam, it's "chicken".

On Wednesday, December 18, the start briefing will begin.

First of all, it's the Chosun Ilbo.

The number of foreigners employed in Korea exceeded 1 million.

88% is said to receive more than 2 million won a month.

The total number of foreign residents, including married immigrants and foreign students, is also the largest ever.

This year is the first time that the number of foreign workers has exceeded 1 million.

It is said to be 3.5% of the total number of employed in Korea.

In particular, 300,000 foreign workers entered the country with an E-9 visa, or a "non-professional work visa."

This means that more foreign workers were needed in places that needed immediate work, such as shipbuilding, manufacturing, and agriculture.

In terms of nationality, there are many Asian countries such as China and Vietnam.

On the other hand, the number of foreigners who got a professional workforce visa increased by 40%.

About half of them receive 2 to 3 million won in salary, and 35% are more than 3 million won.

If the scope is expanded to resident foreigners in Korea, it is estimated to be more than 1.5 million.

Overseas Koreans, married immigrants, and foreign students are combined, and each is the largest number ever since statistics were compiled.

Amid the prolonged low birth rate, it is said that the increase in foreign manpower is now inevitable. However, experts advise that jobs for the elderly need to be protected.

In addition, the newspaper also points out that it is necessary to foster foreign workers as professional workers rather than keeping them in low-wage and low-skilled jobs.

Next is the World Daily.

{Mom, Mom}There is a group who deceived an old man by saying that they make rich with coins while following them in a friendly manner.

I installed a bank app and manipulated it and transferred about 100 million won at will.

I thought it was a scam, so I asked for my money back, but sadly it was already late. They said they gave back only a part of it, saying there was a loss.

As in this case, the damage to illegal activities of virtual assets targeting the elderly is increasing, so caution is needed.

Over the past two years, the amount of related damage has been more than 1 trillion won.

But this year, the coin market has been on a sharp rise since the U.S. presidential election. As the market grew, the number of investors seeking profits increased, and related fraud increased proportionally.

In this situation, the elderly's retirement funds tend to become fraudulent prey.

Basically, there is anxiety about retirement preparation and relatively poor access to digital information.

Older people are increasingly exposed to more complex and diversified investment scams.

Some victims don't know that there are fraudulent crimes like this.

Many elderly people are crying over old age anxiety and coin investment fraud digging into digital illiteracy.

Experts point out that it is important to strengthen lower sentences first.

Please be aware that the places that are suddenly called big money are corporations in appearance, but in reality, they are fake companies to extort money.

Let's look at the next article.

Which app do you use most often or longest on your smartphone?

The most frequently used app appeared on KakaoTalk, and the long-used app appeared on YouTube.

But it's eye-catching that Instagram beat Naver.

Until last year, many people used Naver more often and longer than Instagram, but the ranking changed as young people used SNS.

Analysts say that the use is increasing as more and more contacts with friends through direct messages go beyond seeing a lot of Reels.

As of last year, SNS utilization rate was 58%. It is steadily increasing every year.

In particular, it is said that 90% of the MZ generation uses it.

Among them, Instagram is the overwhelming number one with more than 60%.

Naver, a Korean search engine, has been pushed back by Instagram in terms of time and frequency of use.

Naver is struggling to attract the MZ generation and increase their stay time.

We will strengthen video content by launching a short form service.

They also plan to intensively foster creators and bloggers.

This is the last Hankook Ilbo.

Did you know that 190,000 clothes are produced per minute?

In a year, 100 billion clothes are made every year.

In this way, we are living in an era that fuels infinite production and infinite consumption, but repair, not shopping, is an article that suggests that it is best for the planet.

Ten to 40 percent of the clothes made each year are not sold and are discarded as they are.

8 billion to 60 billion won are just thrown away.

Think of it as a truck going to an incinerator or landfill every second.

Nearly 70,000 smartphones are made in an hour, and 13 million are thrown away every day.

This is how we live in a world where shopping is so easy. I bought it after watching the advertisement, but I didn't like it, so I'm sure you all have items that were carried out in the corner of the room right away.

However, carbon is emitted in the entire process from raw material collection to production, distribution, use, and disposal. The fashion industry alone accounts for 10% of global carbon emissions.

In this era of infinite production and infinite consumption, more and more people are repairing things like meditation.

It's to slow down climate change and control my mind.

It prolongs the life of things and saves my own personality. If you're worried because you're not good with your hands, there's a much easier way to "buy and use only what you need." I hope you can watch everyday lifestyles that you can do to protect the environment.

I looked at the newspaper on the morning of December 18th.

This has been the start briefing.
